Binding Type: Hardcover Published: February 1997 * Out of Print * Annotation: In this, his third book, documentary photographer Norman Mauskopf delves into African-American life in the Mississippi Delta. The book is a revealing chronicle of the shared rural and agricultural community that gave birth to the blues. From the cotton fields to juke-joints, revivals to front-porch get-togethers, Mauskopf's exploration of this tradition-rich culture documents the many ways in which the African-American community has drawn on the past, keeping intact its rituals and a way of life in the American southland. |
